What you'll see
Free transportation from the 7 mile beach area and the cruise ship port. The boat is located in the newly renovated Cayman Islands Yacht Club where you'll depart from, once you arrive your captain will give you a safety briefing and you can decide what stops you want to do first. He'll have you sign a liability wavier and you'll be on your way out to the north sound (bay area) which is protected by the barrier reef where you'll do all your activities. On your way out your captain will tell you about the island and its history. At each stop you'll be briefed before entering the water to ensure everyone is comfortable and aware of their surroundings.

Coral Gardens, a great spot for the average snorkeler. The water is about 8-10 feet where you’ll have a memorable experience surrounded by many tropical fish, maybe catch a glimpse of a moray eel and even a Cayman lobster, who all flourish in the variety of colorful coral life!
Starfish beach, a quiet and relaxing spot great for both kids and adults and is approx. 10 mins boat ride from Stingray City. This is one of the most requested tours offered. You’ll have the chance to walk on the shoreline and be captivated by the red and orange starfish which makes taking a photo extra special!

Your boat will be equipped with snorkeling equipment and life vest for everyone, the boat also has a custom heavy duty ladder which makes in and out the water very easy, there is also a restroom on board as well as a cooler with ice, water and sodas.
